safety and the quality of care. We look forward to presenting the full
analysis and impact of our study at the conference."

Entries were judged by a distinguished panel of judges, chaired by
epidemiologist Thomas W. Wilson, Ph.D., DrPH, Trajectory HealthCare, LLC.
The panel included the best and most widely recognized experts in program
evaluation, care coordination, health information technology, employer and
purchaser decision making and patient safety. Entries were blinded, then
reviewed and scored by the judges based on objective criteria.

"The Best Practices awards and conference will be an opportunity for
leaders in health care management to find out what premier companies are
really doing to advance consumer protection and empowerment," said Alan
Spielman, URAC's president and CEO. "This is a first-of-its-kind conference
with national scope that includes entries from health care management
organizations big and small, across the health care spectrum."

All finalists are invited to attend a black tie dinner gala during the
conference, at which time they will discover how they will be distinguished
as award winners. Gold, Silver and Bronze Best Practices Award winners in
each of the four organization categories will be announced at the dinner,
as well as winners in the three topic categories, and those receiving
Honorable Mention.

"There is tremendous value in recognizing outstanding health care
management programs that advance consumer empowerment and protection,"
Spielman said. "This conference will prepare attendees to apply these best
practices to their own programs. It is a groundbreaking mechanism to
multiply the positive outcomes of winning programs across the health care
management field and to raise the bar on quality for both URAC-accredited
and non- accredited organizations."
